Holding her books loosely in her arms Roberta entered into the Slytherin common room, tired and everything but still loaded with homework for the day. Whoever said that N.E.W.Ts year would be the hardest one yet was right, it really was and she had thought that the O.W.Ls were horrid, goes to show how wrong she had been when she thought that. She dropped her books all neatly on the couch before heading up to the girls dorm and getting out of her school robes. She still had a couple of hours before supper and rounds and then thank MERLIN that it was only a Monday and the homework was not due until Wednesday and it was in her best class, Potions...she could have Professor Snape wrapped around her little finger if she really wanted to but she was not an overachiever but she wasn't doing poorly either, she simply had a above decent grade in there.
She sighed as she looked in her trunk for a little while longer. Why she kept all of her cloths in there she didn't know when she had a perfect place to store them in the first place, she was just strange like that but she supposed people overlooked the little details that she made oh so obvious. After several minutes of actually rummaging through it all and not just going for the first thing that she saw she finally found the perfect thing. It was a pajama set that Lizzy had bought her over the summer when she had been out with some friends in the muggle world like that girl always was and she had to admit it was kind of to really comfortable, not her style or what she would normally wear being a pureblood like she was but still comfortable nonetheless, it was actually pretty nice to just lay around in so she quickly put that on before adjusting the headband to keep her hair out of her face and going back down to the common room.
Once at the bottom of the steps she moved her pile of books and parchment to the ground before grabbing her potions book, a quill and some parchment as she started to read on the days assignment. 'The necessary ingredients to make the cure for boils are as follows Dried nettles, Crushed snake fangs, Stewed horned slugs and Porcupine quills.' She crinkled her nose at the very thought of making something that possibly smelled fowl as that...she hardly knew of any decent smelling potions, never in her entire history at Hogwarts. She wrote down those ingredients before reading on it even more to get all that she would possibly need to know for this class. She was not one to get lost within the pages of a book and that started to show as she soon found herself falling into a sleep when she should have been really studying her hardest.
